Rick Fulton frequently minimized the gravity of the challenges he faced in his life. His upbringing was marked by profound difficulties, with his father's absence casting a long shadow. Between the ages of 3 and 6, Rick endured various forms of abuse that indelibly influenced his perspective on the world. As he matured, Rick developed an intense yearning for attention, a need that often went unmet. Lacking clear guidance, he eventually turned to alcohol and other substances (meth, ecstasy, speed) as a coping mechanism. At one point, Rick couldn't envision an escape, let alone one that would leave him alive. Rick almost died 4 times on this journey and he knew his time to change was running out.

Remarkably, Rick has recently celebrated seven years of sobriety and this is his story on the sober motivation podcast.
